What's the best dating site for ravers?

The short answer

There's no single best site for everyone, so it comes down to what matters more to you:

• People who share the music: a raver dating site. Everyone on Raver Dating signed up because they're into raves, clubs or festivals, so you start with that in common.
• The most people: Tinder, Hinge or Bumble. They're much bigger, but none of them lets you filter by music, so your profile has to do the work.
• Someone to go to a festival with: festival apps like Radiate are built for meeting people at a specific event. See Raver Dating vs Radiate.

What to look for in a dating site for ravers

• Who's on it. A site where everyone shares the scene saves you a lot of "so what music are you into?"
• Verification. Can members prove they're real? Look for ID or video checks and a visible badge.
• Price you can see up front. What's free, what's paid, and whether plans renew.
• Works on your phone. Most people sort plans on the way to the night.
